Both of these posters are about abuse or assault in some form but are presented in very differing ways. The poster at the very top created impact by uses an overload of information in the form of stats. Where as the poster above uses simple but contrasting block images to convey the message of child abuse clearly and effectively. I think that the poster with much less writing is much more effective than one with too many words.


These two posters are of different time periods, the one below from 2014 and the one on the right is from 1961. But yet both are about equally the rights for women in the work place. The 1961 poster uses the symbol of a scales that most people are familiar with to show that both the man and the women are equal as beings so therefore they should be equal when paid. The poster from 2014 uses the average difference in pay checks between men and women to reveal the gap in pay. This use of stats connects with the viewer because they are used to being paid for their own work and can see that women earning less isn’t good. Both posters are effective but the above one speaks to modern day people and can be related to.
